Quincy man indicted in double stabbing outside Quincy bar

QUINCY – A man reportedly tied to a Quincy gang that calls itself “730” has been indicted for his alleged role in a parking lot brawl that left two men with severe stab wounds.

A Norfolk County grand jury has handed up indictments charging Scott L. Mulvey, 22, of Quincy, with armed assault with intent to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon causing serious bodily injury, carrying a dangerous weapon and creating mayhem. The indictments move his case from district court to superior court, where he could face longer sentences.

He is due to be arraigned on the charges in superior court on Sept. 5. Bail was set at $25,000 cash when Mulvey was arraigned on the district court charges in June.

Mulvey was arrested in the aftermath of a fight that drew more than 20 people to the parking lot outside the Commonwealth Restaurant and Lounge in Quincy Center on June 21, according to police reports filed at the court. Police called to the chaotic scene found two bloody men amid a crowd of people, but were unable to locate their attackers. A bloody folding knife with a 3.5-inch blade was found nearby.

Witnesses told police that the two injured men had been at the Commonwealth with friends when they got into a loud argument with another group of men on a patio and were told by bouncers to leave. The witness said the other group followed the two men and their friends after they left and one of them, identified by police as Mulvey, stabbed them with a knife after they started fighting, the report said.

Police said one of the injured men was sent to Boston Medical Center with two puncture wounds on his back, a punctured lung and two fractured ribs. He also required 15 staples to close a large cut on the side of his head, police said.

The other man had the side of his nose cut “from top to bottom,” according to a police report. Police said both men were able to pick Mulvey out of a photo array.

Court records show Mulvey was arrested five days before the stabbing after he allegedly pushed a police officer who was trying to get him to leave the Waterclub at Marina Bay. Mulvey was charged with assault and battery on a police officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

Police said they believe Mulvey is associated with “730,” a Quincy gang that law enforcement officials thought was largely dismantled two years after several core members received state prison sentences. The group takes its name from the New York penal code for mental illness.
